Claim-by-Claim Fact Check
Isolates each claim in a text, rates source reliability and evidence type, and gives a verdict.
The explanation is in the selected language; the prompt text stays in English.
Why use it
For a journalist, student or clinician who needs to check claims in an article, post or speech one by one: evidence quality and a verdict table.
How to use it
Paste the text in [PASTE TEXT], add date and place in [CONTEXT] and any sources you hold in [LINKS OR TEXTS]. Only the material you supply gets assessed.
Short example
Text: The new program halved child mortality; context: 2024 social media post; source: text of a government report.
What to expect
A table of Claim, Evidence, Verdict (supported to cannot be verified) and Notes, followed by a two-sentence overall assessment.
Precautions and tips
- Unverifiable does not mean false; read the verdict that way.
- The model should not say it searched the internet; be suspicious if it does.
- Open the primary source yourself: the report or paper itself.

## Context
- Text to check: [PASTE TEXT]
- Date and place of publication: [CONTEXT]

A table (Claim, Evidence, Verdict, Notes) and a two-sentence overall assessment.
## Constraints
- Do not claim to have searched the internet unless you did
- Never invent sources
